Picked up my JLP shortblock that was assembled with stock 02 heads/cams. I'm gonna tear it back down to a shortblock, put a set of 04 heads on it, Comp. Cams stage 2 (have em in my garage), and the necessary valvetrain upgrades (LFP's cam upgrade kit). Then I'll be ready to drop her in...

My transmission is acting funny... from a stop, I launch, accelerate in 1st and it shifts into second fine, then it will accelerate through 2nd, then trys to shift into 3rd, but decides to go back into 2nd (which puts it right back or a lil past redline.) So, I let out of the gas, let it shift...

My girlfriend got me a pair of Corbeau racing seats for my birthday so I ordered the brackets and finally got them in today: and a couple shots of the truck: Tell me what you think, please...I'm super stoked and getting her a ring A.S.A.P.!!!:pepper: -Joshua

Here are my new wheels. When I got them the chrome was damaged on the spokes, so I took them to an awesome painter friend of mine and had him paint the spokes gloss black to match my black/chrome theme of my truck. I might also mention that these shots were taken immediately after I...

I was running a stock '00 Eaton with a 6# lower and was seeing about 13 psi almost instantly at WOT, but I recently changed over to a ported blower with a 2.75 upper and a 4# lower thinking that it would net me the same boost. Well, it doesn't...It climbs to 10 psi instantly and then SLOWLY...

So, I'm not sure what caused it, but my exhaust is smokin white-bluish (pretty sure that it's burnt oil). It isn't noticeable at speed or WOT, but as soon as I touch the throttle (light or heavy) from an idle it will smoke heavily for about a second then stop or become unnoticeable. Driveabilty...

I bought the truck with a broken passenger side actuator, so I replaced it, and now the replacement is broken! What gives? Has anyone else had this problem? These pics are the best I can do without my digital cam. Here is a pic of what the internals of the actuator looks like with everything in...

Got the truck dyno tuned today (mustang dyno). Here are the vids and pics of the graphs. The first pull: http://s147.photobucket.com/player.swf?refURL=/&file=http://vid147.photobucket.com/albums/r284/Titecelica/dyno001.flv&t=1175302109&os=1&ap=1 The second pull...

So, I'm replacing my alternator tomorrow and want some info from those who have done it before. I have the Haynes manual for the regular non-supercharged Triton V8 F150, so it will give me most of my info, but what special instructions for the Lightning do i need to know (other than taking the...

Like the title says I need help wiring my Autometer Wideband, what do you wire the WOT wire to? My ZEX wet kit splices into the TPS and memorizes the highest voltage and recognizes that as WOT, but as I'm seeing from the schematic it looks like it takes a switch that is open until WOT (which it...

I just got my Autometer Wideband setup and was looking to install it tomorrow. Ive read a few other threads and how-to's but I had an idea and wanted your input. I deleted my EGR system and capped the bung on the header (Bassani shorties). My idea was to have the exhaust shop either utilize this...

So I pull up next to this young asian guy in an apparently modded Gallardo and figured, aw what the hell...I'll tell you what, that car is a dart to 60mph. Does it have AWD cause he didn't spin much if any? He just said, "Buh-Bye" LOL -Joshua

what are the symptoms of a bad COP? Mine seems to be studdering at WOT only, pulls just fine under normal driving though...I didn't know if a bad COP would cause a dead cylinder all the time or possibly only under WOT. I plan to check them tomorrow evening for the appropriate ohm specs, but i...

I've noticed my truck has quite a bit of play when steering. Is there any way to tighten it up to make it more precise? And I did a couple of searches and didn't find anything... Thanks, -Joshua

Studdering when kicking down a gear. Please Help! I noticed my truck isn't wanting to downshift into the proper gear when i transition from cruising to hauling a$$. It tries to downshift then acts as if it can't make up it's mind if it wants to grab the lower gear or stay in the cruising gear...

I pulled my right rear wheel off today because I noticed the inside of my wheel was covered with some sort of grease. After looking around I couldn't find any obvious origin of the leak, but my disc brake dust cover had grease caked up in it. Is there a seal at the end (close to the wheel) of...

I just replaced my plugs yesterday with TR6's again, but I noticed the plugs I pulled all had a green tint/film on the electrode. Is that from N20 or race gas or something else I'm unaware of? I looked it up in my "reading spark plugs chart" in the back of my Haynes, but they had nothing on...

Went to the track on Sat. night, I made one all-motor pass then changed a few settings after reviewing the data log. Went for my second pass, wheel hopped and as soon as I let off the throttle I hear it... Well, I've got a 5" Aluminum D/S on the way, but other than a D/S loop what traction...

I have a MAFXtender I'm selling for $60 shipped: http://www.billetflow.com/MAFXtender.htm for info on product Thanks, Joshua

Anyone know how to do this? I'm running a modified pulley/90mm MAF/93oct. as my race program and bought a MAFia because I peg my MAF every WOT run. Diablo says to reduce the following parameters by 41% for setting 3 on MAFia : Fuel Injector Low Slope, Fuel Injector High Slope, and Air Mass...

I have the Autometer Ultra-Lite A/F gauge (the one with the LED indicator that swoops in a semi-circle) I'm showing major rich at W.O.T. and was going to lean it out a bit via Predator, but wanted to see if this gauge is accurate first... Does anyone know how accurate these gauges are? Thanks...

I've noticed that my electrical i/c pump "surges"...what I mean is that it will pump hard for 3 seconds or so and then back off the power (not totally) for 3 seconds and then repeat. It still flows coolant when it "backs off" but obviously not as much (I can see the effects of this surge in the...

So last night I took the L to the local drag strip (Bradenton Motor Speedway) It was approximately 88 degrees with very high humidity. I launched twice from idle and twice from 1k rpm with the same outcome, I had very good traction (no spinning at all) Here is what my best time slip looks...

I have a 00 L that I just put a 6 lb lower and a Diablo Revolution Chip in with a dyno-tune. Before these mods I could run my truck hard with no obvious problems, but after I had these mods installed I noticed that if I got into the throttle for say a 0-100mph run I could smell coolant. So I...

I just recently bought a L and have a Zex wet n2o kit from my last car. I see some people are running dry kits, but haven't really seen anyone with the wet. Will this kit work for my truck, and if so where are you supossed to place the nozzle (didn't know if you're supposed to spray through the...
